Hey guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows what programming languages are taught in each year for computer science at royal holloway?
Hey, sorry to see you haven't had any replies to your thread yet. :frown: Are you sure you’ve posted in the right place? Posting in the specific university or course forum should help get more responses. :redface:

If you haven’t already found it, then university connect is a really useful way for finding people at your course/university! You can also find a list of applicant threads and courses here. :h: It's worth checking out if you have questions.

If you need advice on your academic work, then the Study Help section will be able to help you. :h: Hope this helps! :h:

Hi there

I am a current student at Royal Holloway, a friend of mine takes Computer Science and has given me a rough list of the languages that are taught in each year, he did also say that some of the languages that are taught are course dependent.

First Year: Java, C++, HTML (javascript and PHP are combined with this). SQL is also taught, but that is more of an abstract language, not exactly a programming one.

Second Year: C , Advanced Java. Some people may have more C++ and Matlab/python use here I think, depending on their course.

Third Year: R/M (matlab) is useful for the stats based courses, Java.

Depending on projects and such, people will specialise.

Other skills are Agile, Scrum and TDD, which aren't languages, but a set of principles that employers use in the workplace to ensure good code practice.

I really hope this helps.

Regards

Tom
